Poe Rey Mi Fa Solo Ren Poe

Created: Jan 2016

Say what you will of The Force Awakens, its premiere was one of the most memorable experiences I’ll ever have. I saw it with all my friends, opening night, in a PACKED theatre. And it was fun!

The next month, I was still thinking about it somehow, so I scribbled this down in a notebook (a physical one, so I have no idea where it is). Felt like a god damn genius until I realized I had no way to make an actual song out of it, since I didn’t know anything about music.

Fast forward two years. I’ve now put out… two… albums. And made a handful of original songs.

And Episode VIII is finally here! Now seemed like the perfect time to resurrect the idea. It turned out great! Well, the song at least. IDK about the visuals I just kinda threw them together.

Lyrics:

Po, can steer, a rebel ship
Rey, a budding padawan
Maz, the wise, and ancient one
Finn, a soldier on the run
So, an old retired rogue
Lo, a name to follow So
Ren, his somewhat evil son

And that brings us back to
Po
Rey
Maz
Finn
So
Lo
Ren
Po

Let’s go again, shall we?
But this time, lets incorporate some corporate market research!

Po, who’s queer, for Finn in fics
Rey, the super Mary Sue
Maz, who must, be Yoda’s clone
Finn, who’s only in for goofs
So, Harrison Ford is back?
Lo, and behold a short contract
Ren… whose real name… is Ben

And that brings us back to
Star
Wars
Will
Make
Lots
Of
Money

Interesting notes:

  • I, no joke, recorded the vocals in a studio.
  • I made the instrumental from completely free VSTs I got online, and I am rather proud of it.

Evil Within 2 Trailer | With Original 1992 Version of Ordinary World

Alright Imma be honest, I just wanted to flex my audio editing muscles for once. I mixed all the audio in Adobe Audition (I was also using it at the time to mix my mashup album, The Book of Genre). I downloaded hundreds of sfx from www.freesound.org …THEN I LOST THEM.

Hit a serious snag in development, in which I lost a lot of my progress, saved versions of the file, and downloaded sfx. That damn Halloween-video curse struck again, as last seen on the Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared Movie. Anyway, I let it rest for a long time before deciding to resurrect it from the dead (heheh, geddit).

Everything past 1:13 was done more recently, and more quickly; so if it seems rougher that’s why. I was rusty, and I really didn’t want to drag out the production of the video any longer than I had to, especially after that unpleasant snag. Still pretty okay with how it came out, and definitely proud of a lot of the audio mixing in the first half! Had fun with it too, and that’s the important. aprta oh sh looks elike my tpying is cuscred tooo

Interesting notes:

  • I did not plan on this being a follow-up to my FFXV Stand By Me video but the fact that it worked out like that makes me very happy.
  • I tried to make the sfx keep in line with the rhythm of the song, and it mostly works!
